WWOOF gives us the opportunity to get in touch with the authentic life of an Australian family. We are interested in doing new things, learning about farming and get closer to the nature.

I would like to join WOOF Australia to enjoy a rewarding human experience based on exchange, learning and discovery. This adventure represents an opportunity for me to step outside my comfort zone, actively contribute to local projects, and develop practical and interpersonal skills in a completely different environment. It is a way to combine travel, work and sharing, while remaining true to my values of commitment, curiosity and open-mindedness.

I would like to have a hobby farm one day and would like to learn a bit about how organic farms work. I have met some people who did wwoofing and they had a great time. I would like to meet like-minded people.

Lakeside Tiny Farm, is a community wellness farm. We are located in Port Stephens and create rich experiences for personal development and growth. Participants visit the farm for therapies including animals, art and nature. We are in our third year of owning our 6acres and would love support to build more gardens, nature paths, native food plants and tending to our array of animals inc: horses, dogs, sheep and chickens. The accommodation is a modern self contained double bed caravan with air-conditioning.

After three years of living in NZ,That place made me dream of having my place to grow my own food and actually live in a part of the ecosystem. But I felt like I’d like to travel more before having my own place to settle. And I thought WWOOF is the best combination of traveling, and learning mindsets and skills. That’s why I did join WWOOF. Thank you.

Fryers Forest is a intentional community in Central Victoria, 15 mins from Castlemaine, a thriving alternative town 1.5 hrs from Melbourne by train or car. We are nestled in the Fryers Ranges known as Box ironbark country. We are a community of about 25 people (9 households) on 340 acres surrounded by state forest on 3 sides and have been hosting woofers for many years. We have a fantastic lake to swim in and great walking tracks. We host various community camps and gatherings. Enjoy meeting and working with travellers.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to give real meaning to my summer. I love traveling, discovering new places, and meeting people from different backgrounds, but this time, I wanted to experience something more authentic and human than simple tourism. Woofing seems to me like the perfect way to do that : learning, sharing, helping, all while being close to nature and animals. Having grown up in the countryside, I’ve always enjoyed working outdoors and being around animals. I practiced horse riding for ten years, and from that time I’ve kept a real appreciation for effort, respect for living beings, and the satisfaction of being useful. I like feeling involved in a tangible project, where my help can truly make a difference. For me, WWOOF is much more than just a trip, it’s an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, to discover a new culture, to learn new things, and and to connect with people. I see it as a deeply enriching experience, one that reflects my values of sharing, kindness, and open-mindedness.

We live on a large block on the edge of a small village in the Sunshine Coast area. We have a large organic vegetable garden with fruit trees so we love having help with gardening, and adventures with landscaping as well. We are happy to have WWOOFers for up to one week and WWOOFers usually work about 5 hours per day for 5 days in the 7 day week. Even though we live in the bush we are walking distance from the coffee shop and the IGA general store. We are a vegetarian, non-smoking family and we love to exchange ideas about vegetarian and vegan cooking. We look forward to hearing from you, Jane and Des

I heard about WWOOF from a family friend and thought it was such an awesome idea!! I have joined WWOOF because I want to have a truly unique experience and meet people and hear about their stories. I want to learn and gain new skills and really get stuck in!!

I joined woof as my friend recommended it to me after helping out with his family’s fruit forest in Portugal. This conversation with my friend encouraged and inspired me to give it a try to learn new things and expand my knowledge and meet new people in new environments.

The next chapter in my life which is the regenerative fashion project, requires me to be one with nature and familiar with the practises on how to live in harmony with nature. I see WWOOF as an absolutely amazing platform to do that! I joined because I’m curious to learn more about organic farming, regenerative practices, and community-based living, not just in theory, but through real experiences alongside people who live this every day. What excites me most is the opportunity to be part of a family or community, to share stories and meals, to help out with practical tasks, and to learn skills that remind me of the beauty and balance in a simpler way of life. For me, WWOOFing isn’t just about volunteering, it’s about experiencing a lifestyle that is grounded, nourishing, and regenerative, and carrying those lessons with me into my future work and the communities I’ll serve 🙂

I joined WWOOF because I would love to meet and help hosts by living in their home. I think it is the best way to understand how people live and really getting into the culture of the country I am travelling in.

I would like to discover as part of my trip to Australia the different cultures, be immersed with the people of the country and help them in their activities. The Wwoofing offers me the opportunity to participate in physical work, activities on farms, be in nature or take care of animals. Indeed, I love physical work and enjoy nature and its benefits. I have the exchange value that the woofing offers. In my personal life with my surroundings, we serve each other with confidence. For example, I kept the house of the mother of a sick friend during 9 months during 2024, so that the house remained occupied, secured and maintained, I stayed free of charge in this house. while waiting for the house to be renovated and rented. Moreover, It is a real opportunity to learn more about Australia and its people as well as to make new acquaintances.

Now, I study how agriculture impacts the environment, but it is difficult to gain experiments in farming at my university. Therefore, I want to learn eco-friendly farming methods by working with actual farmers. I also want to enjoy Australian life 🙂

I’m joining WWOOFing because I want to connect with people on a meaningful level, learn more about the Australian lifestyle, and experience everyday life in a different setting. I’m curious to understand how others live, work, and see the world. For me, WWOOFing is a great way to exchange ideas, learn new skills, and contribute in a hands-on way. I’m excited to be part of daily routines, help where I can, and share stories along the way. It’s not just about traveling—it’s about building connections and learning from others through real-life experiences.

I'm joining the WWOOF program as part of my adventure in Australia because I want to make my time here meaningful. I'm not only looking to explore this beautiful country, but also to give back by contributing my energy and enthusiasm to farms, gardenings and communities along the way. I see WWOOFing as a chance to learn new skills, embrace different ways of living, and deepen my understanding of sustainable practices. I will do my best to support the hosts and learn a lot of things. I am looking forward to living in Australia.

We have a 50 ha farm in the Gympie Hinterland, just north of the Sunshine Coast. We practice regenerative agriculture, permaculture, syntropic style organic gardening and live a permie lifestyle. we grow most of our own food and preserve our excess. We would like to share our knowledge with the younger generation.
